[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 171682, member: 1550"] First off, I don't think your child is trying to control you. He may be terrified of going into a big store. Mine was. Here's a brief overview of my story and what I did (plus my advice to you). I have a boy on the autism spectrum. When he was toddler, I did not take him out unless hub was with me. If I had to shop at a 24/7 grocery store when hub was home, I did that rather than take him out. He was just too difficult, wouldn't stay in the cart, cried if I wouldn't get him what he wanted, screamed at loud noises and clung to me, and I felt like the whole world was staring at us. In a very real way, I was terrified somebody would call CPS (he is adopted and I'm white and my little guy is black--how easy would it have been to make the assumption that I stole this child?) My son calmed down a lot after he started interventions. Then we could take him places. I recommend a neuropsychologist exam. Don't try to guess what is wrong with him--but my guess is that it's more than the ADHD/ODD diagnosis. that most of us get as a first one. I personally never used or wanted to use state help and don't like behavioral therapists. They tend to think it's our faults that our kids are like they are and I knew that my son had been this way even before he came to live with us (at age two). Also Behavioral Therapists often give us advice that just does not work for our atypical kids, then blame us again when their advice fails. We just didn't go there. I suspected autism, but nobody agreed with me until he was elevin. So we forced the school district to give him interventions for autism anyways because he DID have a speech delay/ gross/fine motor problems and (haha) terrible social skills. It worked! Good luck!
